Hi, Hope you are all enjoying the weekend! I just wanted to share a layout that I did last week before all the chaos of the attack! It was a layout about my boys climbing the hay bales at the pumpkin patch. I loved the pics I took that day especially these ones because my boys are so close and it was very evident that day! You see they are 8 years apart and sometimes age is a factor between

It was a gorgeous, warm fall day so we took advantage of the warm weather and decided to visit a local pumpkin farm. We were surprised to see more than just pumkins and a corn maze. They had a spooky house, hay bales, zip line, wagon rides, sling shot, petting zoo, and of course lots of wonderful pumpkins!!! I was sooo glad we took the kids there and we are all looking forward to going back

This week we would like to see you create a scene with your layout. The scene must include at least 2 pockets/slots for hidden journaling or photos.For example, you could do a scene with a house with a big tree and car outside - the doors and the windows of the house can be "opened" to reveal something otherwise hidden. Think outside the box and see what creative things you could come up with...

Welcome to my new scrap space! I am so thrilled to call this little nook in our basement my space! The thing that makes me the happiest is I am still near everybody but still have an area I can sit and scrap in! I love all the light from our large windows, which really doesn't make it feel like a basement either. So if you are looking for me I'm here at my desk where I love to create! Thanks

Wow, what a big day for my kids yesterday. Not only was it their first day it was a brand new school, new friends, new teachers, riding the bus to and from school, which made a really long day for us at home. I was worried about them, hoping they would make new friends and feel comfortable with all the new stuff and they did exactly that, they had an awesome day! I was so proud of them!Thanks

We had an awesome time camping in our new camper, we spent most of our time sitting around the fire roasting marshmellows and hanging out. My mom camped with us for 2 nights and we all enjoyed her very very much. She really loves camping and was so excited to be able to come with us, we only got one day in at the beach so there aren't very many beach pics this year so far, but I'm still hoping

Here's a peek into my new house...(sorry I took so long to get this onto my blog)I've been trying to get some flower beds made for my perreniels that I brought from the old house...they've been dying to get into the ground. I am loving my new house, it's not too big or not to small, it's just right! We have a lot of work to do before we call it done like finish the basement, build a garage...add

Hey everyone!!!! Well I'm back online, I finally got decent wireless internet hooked up yesterday! Our move went extremely well almost too good! It took the whole weekend to move all of our stuff! We were completely drained every single night, I think I was asleep in less than 30 seconds every night. The kids were a huge help with the move too, thanks guys! I labeled every box so we knew exactly

A simple layout I created for my dd album celebrating her 1'st Communion! Our new priest allowed us to take all kinds of pics during the service so we took full advantage of it. She will treasure these pics forever! Have a great day!!!

The new challenge is up at Scrapping Out Loud and we were to use rub on's right on our pics!!! I love rub-ons but didn't have too many left so I used what I could find in my stash!!! I hope you like it! My mom rarely looks at the camera so I always end up taking pics of her while she's talking or telling a story, oh well that's so her, she's geniune, strong, loving, my friend and my hero! Have a

I am making a declaration that everyday should be earth day! I'm constantly trying to teach my kids something about helping the environment, it's one of my parental duties and I take it very seriously. Our new house was constructed with double wall construction, (r39) insulation so we will be saving big time on energy costs. Our appliances are all energy star rated or high efficent to cut down

It's moving day tomorrow so I wanted to share a layout before I pack up the computer and head over to the new house! I wasn't going to share this layout because I really didn't like the way that I looked in it. I was shocked to see how big I looked sitting next to my mom (who is quite tiny) but it was also a wakeup call for me as I am making a lifestyle change with food. I haven't scrapped in

It's friday and I wanted to share a layout I did a couple of nights ago about my oldest! I wanted to focus more on the pic that's why I took the less is more approach! I love how it turned out! This is the beginning of the end of my relaxed days around here...I've been packing like a mad woman and the house is about 90% packed, we are having a garage sale this weekend so I will be tied up with

Did anyone watch American Idol lastnight? I did, and what a fantasic show!!!! I was soooo happy to see Kris Allen win lastnight's title! He was the underdog or dark horse in this competition and did not steal the title away from Adam Lambert, he earned it. Don't get me wrong I thought Adam was going to win too, but we have to think that Danny Gokey's fan must have cast their votes to Kris Allen

I had a terrific Mother's Day! My hubs was working so it was just me and the kids all day!! My day began with a wonderful pancake breakfest and coffee then the kids loaded my dishwasher for me...that was a present itself then we went outside to play and lounge in the sun! We played video games, played piano and relaxed until supper, which was chinese takeout!!! Yummy!!! After supper we ended

I took this pic one day just fooling around with my camera and decided to print it the other day! I remember the day that I took this...my kids were all sitting together on the couch with their feet propped up on the ottoman and sharing my new ipod without fighting! One would take a turn then the other and this continued for quite some time and I was amazed at how they all can be sooooo kind and

This week at Scrapping Out Loud we were to use this chinese proverb as inspiration for our pages!!! "Tell me and I'll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I'll understand. I did my layout about my kids figuring out my new Ipod Touch, they had it all figured out in a couple of hours and I didn't even know how to turn it on...kids these days they understand technology soooo fast it's

We had such a great weekend! We celebrated my daughter's first communion on Sunday, she was soooo beautiful! When I asked her before the mass how she felt...she said "like a bride" , I had to giggle because I was asking about the communion and all she could think about was the dress!!!

So I got scrapping lastnight and pulled out a piece of cardstock that scares the life outta me: turquoise/aqua and decided to use it for this week's challenge at Scrapping Out Loud, scrap with a color that you never use! I loved how it turned out and might just have to try using it again.

Well I'm back from my trip back home but it still feels like we didn't get a long enough visit with everyone! We stayed with my baby sister and her family! (thanks Ky for an awesome stay you and J are wonderful hosts...can't wait to come back!) My mom was thrilled to see us there to help her celebrate her 60th birthday on sunday! The kids played with their cousins like they've never been apart

This is a layout about my dd and my nephew he's such a cutie!! We only see him a couple times a year because he lives a few provinces away!!! I am amazed at how close my kids are with all of their cousins...even though they don't get to spend a huge amount of time together they are a really close knit bunch... always have been, I think it's sweet!!! We are off to visit my parents and my sistas

Do you believe in soulmates? I didn't before I met my husband, I believed in love and finding someone to share love with...but I never thought that 2 people were meant to be together and would somehow find one another in this huge place! But I met him...on a blind date...which we both were going to cancel at around the same time but we didn't. Some may think that we are an unlikely match, I'm

We spent the night at a hotel and had a great time....I even let my kids jump on the bed and as you can see they took full advantage of

We have this swinging bridge nearby that crosses a pretty big river and I've never walked ...of course the kids love it and so does the hubby so they walked it without me! I am terrified of heights and can't stand anything moving under me...so there is NO WAY that I will ever be going on this thing in my entire life...I don't even like watching them do it!!! It's Saturday and I think I'll scrap

We have gone non-stop for the past 2 weeks and it's finally taking it's toll on all of us. I've grown tired of showing the house to people and I'm

I've never lived in the country but always wanted to live out of town! I've been sooo incredibly busy cleaning and showing our house to potential buyers. The first thing that came down was my scrap space...what a depressing thought...I just got it

I was able to create a valentines box for my daughter's class party. She told me late lastnight that some kids were bringing special boxes from home....I thought gone are the days where we put ours into a brown bag...So I grabbed the first box I could find and made a handle and decked it out with foam hearts....all together I spent the better part of 45 minutes...she was so excited when she saw

Not sure what I did yesterday...maybe it was all the cutting with this layout, but I really hurt my back so I will be down for a couple of days and not doing too much blogging. Oh well maybe it's a sign that I need to slow down for a few days. I wanted to get this one posted as valentines is fast approaching and this is for my dd album. Hope you are all having a great week!

The new challenge is up at Scrapping Out Loud: we had to scrap an amazing moment in our life...I've had so many like when my kids were born or when I got married....I wanted to scrap an amazing moment I had more recently. This was my daughter's first piano concert! I was so proud of her because this was a defining moment for her; before she began lessons she was so shy and quiet and some how I
